Jeff Rumaner, better known as Stretch — the heavy-metal sculptor, restaurateur, Crossroads Arts District developer and TIF commissioner — is about to take his reality-TV career to the next level.

After guest appearances on several unscripted shows, including “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” “Monster House,” “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” and “Guy’s Big Bite,” Stretch is starring in a pilot called “Hungry Men at Work” for the Spike cable channel.
